There are more and mroe requirements that SoC specific modules should be built as module in order to support generic kernel image, such as Android GKI concept. This patch series supports i.MX8 SoCs pinctrl drivers to be built as module, including i.MX8MQ/MM/MN/MP/QXP/QM/DXL SoCs, and it also supports building i.MX common pinctrl driver and i.MX SCU common pinctrl driver as module. Compared to V2, the changes are as below: - add "depends on OF" to PINCTRL_IMX to fix build error using x86 randconfig; - change the config dependency of PINCTRL_IMX_SCU to support scenario of building in PINCTRL_IMX while building PINCTRL_IMX_SCU as module, no other good choice in my mind, if you have better idea without changing the driver code, please advise.
